Hello, we are considering it, too, and can't really find any reviews. Did you end up going with Shinnoki? Or learn any pros/cons? Thank you!

Hi! We decided to go with Shinnoki Ivory oak. They’ve installed our bathroom vanities but not our kitchen cabinets, but we should be done in a month or two and I’d be happy to share feedback and photos! From what I can tell so far it looks true to the samples but our lighting isn’t in yet so it’s hard to say. No major red flags yet 🤞🏻

thank you, I appreciate it!

any updates?

Hello OP- how have your shinnoki held up? What did you use in your kitchen instead of Shinnoki?

Hi! We did end up going with Shinnoki Ivory Oak throughout our house (kitchen, bath, entry) and so far it has held up well after 1.5 years. We have 2 young kids and so far we've had no major issues. I've noticed a few places where the edge banding has lifted a tiny bit after snagging on clothes, etc. and we've had one scratch that I think came from one of our kids slamming a chair into a drawer but overall it's pretty good! If budget had not been a concern I would have gone with something slightly warmer and more organic looking--at times I feel like the stain on the Shinnoki looks a little more modern and clean than I was going for, but overall we've been very happy and it looks very true to all of the images I had seen of the product online.

Thank you so much for your reply! Was your edge banding made from ABS or real wood? Is the scratch noticeable?

The edge banding was also Shinnoki veneer, but I don't know enough about the process to really say if it's actually an issue--I can say that a tiny bit of wood glue seems to be all that it needs and it's only been on our bathroom vanity. The scratch is not noticeable to anyone except me :)

Here is a very real life photo of what the kitchen looks like today (floors are red oak with bona intense for a reference point): https://www.houzz.com/hznb/photos/kitchen-phvw-vp~205048904

Kitchen looks great but im concerned about the edgebanding as well from what i have seen in person its not the best quality edge banding and does seem to life and chip or look worn down. was it done through the manufacturer or the shop that built it out for you?

@t style- I’ve heard this from others as well that it’s an issue
